🎯 “Across New Mexico, there are healthcare providers and community members who are working together to make sure their communities have the maternity care that they need.” Dr. Trevor Quiner, a maternal and fetal medicine specialist and co-director of the New Mexico Improving Perinatal Health ECHO, spoke with New Mexico in Focus, a production of New Mexico PBS, about addressing maternity care gaps through collaboration and shared learning.

The New Mexico Improving Perinatal Health ECHO Program connects healthcare providers across the state to peer learning networks and strategies for best-practice care. Two months ago, the program hosted Voices from the Void: Lived Experience and Clinical Response to Maternity Care Closures. Clinicians and community members gathered to discuss how they are delivering maternity care amid closures, and how families are accessing care as their options dwindle.

Join us for the second Voices from the Void conversation on Monday, August 31. The session will explore the essential role of midwives in rural communities.
